The Mets are releasing their starting first baseman and recalling one of their top prospects.

New York announced Sunday it has cut Adrián González. The team will promote Dominic Smith to fill González’s spot on the active roster.

After tonight’s game we have given Adrián González his unconditional release. On Tuesday, we will designate catcher Jose Lobaton for assignment, will recall Dominic Smith from Las Vegas and will select the contract of Ty Kelly from Las Vegas. #Mets

The Mets signed González to a one-year contract in January. He batted .241 with six home runs and 26 RBIs in 53 games this season.

González, who has also played for the Rangers, Padres, Red Sox and Dodgers, has hit .287 with 317 home runs and made five All-Star teams in his 15-year MLB career.

The Mets selected Smith with the 11th overall pick in the 2013 MLB Draft and he made his Major League debut in August 2017. Smith registered a .198 batting average and hit nine home runs in 49 games last season.
